"Dr Livingston, I presume?". This pith helmet style (also known as UK Pith Helmet)is associated with British colonial and foreign service history. It is made from trees grown in the northern part of Vietnam. The material can sustain heavy sunlight as well as rain. When wet the hat may become a bit softer, but then dries to its original state. The Vietnamese learned the art of pith helmet manufacturing a hundered years ago from the French during their occupation.
The crown is 8 1/2 inches high. Front brim is 2 inches and the back brim is 2 1/2 inches. Both sides measure 1 inch in length.
Color: Khaki, as pictured.
Size: Adjustable by way of Velcro on the end of the sweatband - One-Size-Fits-Most. Up to about a 7 3/8.
Due to the handmade nature of the Pith Helmets, please be advised that there may be some minor imperfections in the construction of the hat. These imperfections should not hinder the look or the wear of the helmet.
